Colchester Roof Repairs.
What we actually fix in Colchester
Colchester roofs take a beating, especially over winter. With a range of roofs in the area, from many different ages. We have seen and helped all types of roofs and problems.
In town (CO1–CO2) we see a lot of Victorian and Edwardian houses: clay tiles, some natural slate, old lead valleys and flashings that have finally given up. New Town and Old Heath are typical for slipped tiles and leaking chimney flashings after a storm.
Lexden, Prettygate and Shrub End are full of 1930s semis, period properties and Bunglaows with concrete interlocking tiles. Common jobs: broken tiles, failed ridge pointing, and valleys that have silted up.
Highwoods, Mile End and Greenstead are later estates. Concrete tiles, the odd felt or GRP garage/extension roof, and gutters blocked with moss that then soaks the fascia.
Stanway, Marks Tey, Copford, Eight Ash Green and the newer edges of town: mixed roofs, lots of extensions, and flat roofs over bays and kitchens that are due a proper repair rather than another patch.
Wivenhoe, Rowhedge, Tiptree and West Mersea sit in the same run. Coastal weather on Mersea in particular is hard on flashings and ridge tiles.
If you are not sure what is wrong, that is fine. We will get on the roof, find the leak, and tell you straight whether it is a repair or time for more.
